Texas A&M Rangel College of Pharmacy researcher receives a grant from the FDA to develop a test method for finding therapeutic equivalency of topical eye medications.

It will also reduce the amount of time and money required for a generic medication to reach the pharmacy shelf.

The Texas A&M Health Science Center brings together scientists across Texas in a multi-institutional academic drug discovery program. With the help of state-of-the-art equipment, the consortium aims to repurpose drugs to treat devastating illnesses, a process that costs a fraction of the time and money it takes to develop an entirely new drug.
